Park Adoption

PARK ADOPTION

Fifth graders in an after-school program had no school playground and the only park in the surrounding neighborhood had fallen into disarray. The class chose to organize a campaign to improve the park, which students in their school used during recess and after-school. After conducting scientific and other research and mobilizing the local community, they met with a Commissioner of the Parks Department who gave them permission to adopt and make improvements to the park.
